Operating Guidelines
The Commercial Striped Bass Industry Advisory Work Group (SBWG) has been revised in order to address industry concerns regarding member participation and gear/area specific representation on the previous SBWG. The revised-SBWG is being re-convened to serve as an advisory body to the Department on matters concerning the striped bass commercial fishing industry. Specifically, the Department is seeking coordinated industry input on the management of this fishery in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the fishery's participants. All advice offered to the Department via the SBWG will be vetted through the Tidal Fisheries Advisory Commission. Should the Department choose to move forward with advice involving regulation, the Department will adhere to the established public process for initiating regulatory change. This includes public scoping of the regulatory idea, obtaining input from both the Tidal and Sport Fisheries Advisory Commissions, and a public comment opportunity during the regulatory process.
The membership of the SBWG is representative of the diverse regions and interests within the commercial striped bass fishery. The membership represents six regions of the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay: 1) Upper Western Shore, 2) Middle Western Shore, 3) Lower Western Shore, 4) Upper Eastern Shore, 5) Middle Eastern Shore, and 6) Lower Eastern Shore / Coastal Bays. Each of these regions has one member assigned to each of three seats based on gear type: Hook and Line, Gill Net and Pound Net. There are three additional seats in the Lower Eastern Shore region: One of these seats is designated for the River Gill Netters and the other two are held by industry representatives on the Atlantic Coast / Coastal Bays. In addition, the president of the Maryland Watermen's Association, the president of the Chesapeake Bay Commercial Fishermen's Association, and the Chair of the Tidal Fisheries Advisory Commission are included as members by virtue of their roles as Industry leaders. Nominations for each seat were provided to the Department by these industry leaders.
The Natural Resources violation history of each nominee was reviewed by the Department. Any current member of the SBWG who accumulates 10 or more points during any two year period will be removed from the Committee. In selecting new or replacement committee members, an individual who has acquired 10 or more points within the most recent two years will not be eligible. The Department may also take into account other factors when determining eligibility, which include, but are not limited to excessive reporting violations, revocation of fishing permits, and probation before judgment dispositions for tier II and III offenses. Eligible nominees are appointed to the committee by the Director of Fisheries Service.
Member Responsibilities:
- Prepare for meetings: Read distributed information prior to meetings; discuss issues with the people you represent; and prepare to communicate the viewpoints and concerns of those you represent.
- Service Between Meetings: Maintain regular communication with the people you represent, informing them of the progress and work of the SBWG.
- Work in Meetings: Attend to process; follow the agenda; suggest solutions or compromises; search for closure.
- Participate: Use the capacities and resources you possess; promote the ideas, perspectives and constituencies you represent while adhering to the purpose of the SBWG.
Term of Tenure and Selection of Future Members:
Consistent with the Tidal Fisheries Advisory Commission, members are appointed to a two year term. The Department will request that industry leadership conduct a comprehensive review of the membership every two years. An individual may serve more than one term.
- Proxy Attendees. A single, designated proxy from the same regional area as the member may be nominated to serve on behalf of a SBWG Member.
- In the event that you are unable to attend a meeting, you must notify the DNR staff person assigned to the SBWG within 48 hours of the meeting. The DNR staff person will work with you to obtain and provide your input to the SBWG.
- The DNR staff person will notify SBWG members if a meeting is to be canceled for lack of a quorum.
- If a Member or their proxy is unable to attend 75% of SBWG meetings during a calendar year, the Department will ask the Industry Leaders to review this person's membership and potentially nominate a replacement.
A quorum is a simple majority of appointed Members.
Communication and Decision-Making Ground Rules
- The SBWG is asked to consider each suggested ground rule in an effort to facilitate group discussions:
- Only SBWG Members (or approved proxy attendees) will sit at the meeting table.
- Only one member will speak at a time, each member will have equal opportunity to participate.
- Each Member will focus on the agenda issue to keep the discussion moving forward.
- Each Member will respect all other Members and individuals of the public that may be in attendance at meetings.
- Each Member will strive to listen actively and be open-minded.
- Public observers will be allowed to address the SBWG at a designated time period on the agenda for each meeting.
- For topics that are not on the agenda, DNR staff will use a public sign-up list in deciding how to allocate the available time on the agenda to the number of people who want to speak.
- Work Group members may make a motion.
- If a motion is made, it shall be written down and reviewed for accuracy. Before discussing the motion, there needs to be a second to the motion. If the motion receives a second, DNR staff will facilitate a fair and equitable discussion among the Work Group members, and an opportunity for public comment as time allows.
- Discussion shall be limited to the merits of the immediately pending question or issue.
- A seconded motion shall be approved by a majority of the Work Group members in order to be adopted. Motions may be voted upon using ballots rather than a show of hands.
- If the motion is approved, but not carried unanimously, the Department requests that the Work group inform the Department on the reason for the dissenting vote(s). This is needed as the Department is the decision-making body, and not only needs to hear the reasons for supporting the motion but also those that oppose the motion.
Support Staff
- The Maryland DNR Fisheries Service shall designate a staff person(s) to support the SBWG.
The assigned staff person(s) shall have the following roles:
- Administrator - Prepare and distribute meeting agendas, meeting summaries and meeting support information; arrange for meeting space; and secure materials and/or resources to facilitate meetings
- Meeting Facilitator - Ensure adherence to agenda and operating guidelines; facilitate and clarify discussion; involve membership; explore diversity of opinions/inputs; resolve discussions; facilitate public participation in a fair and equitable manner while maintaining an atmosphere of civility and respect; allocate meeting time to accommodate discussion
- Technical Support: Provide information and consultation regarding technical issues.

Home Prices in U.S. Cities Fell 4% in April
By Shobhana Chandra -
Jun 28, 2011 7:00 AM MT
Home prices decreased in the year ended April by the most in 17 months, showing the housing market remains an obstacle for the U.S. recovery.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities fell 4 percent from April 2010, the biggest drop since November 2009, the group said today in New York. From March to April, prices fell 0.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, the smallest decline since July 2010.
A backlog of foreclosures and falling sales raise the risk that prices will decline further, discouraging builders from taking on new projects. The drop in property values and a jobless rate hovering around 9 percent are holding back consumer sentiment and spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy.
"There's no sign of any real recovery in housing yet," Jim O'Sullivan, chief economist at MF Global Inc. in New York, said before the report. "There won't be a significant turn until the labor market shows sustained improvement. The level of foreclosures is still high and a lot of people are delinquent on their mortgages."
The decrease matched the median forecast of 30 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Estimates ranged from declines of 4.9 percent to 3.5 percent. The year-over-year drop in March was revised to 3.8 percent from a previously reported 3.6 percent decline.
Before adjusting for seasonal variations, prices climbed 0.7 percent from March, today's report showed.
Better Gauge
The year-over-year gauge provides better indications of trends in prices, the group has said. The panel includes Karl Case and Robert Shiller, the economists who created the index.
Shiller told a conference in New York this month that a further decline in property values of 10 percent to 25 percent in the next five years "wouldn't surprise me at all."
The Case-Shiller gauge is based on a three-month average, which means the April data was influenced by transactions in March and February.
"This month is better than last," David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P, said in a statement. "However, the seasonally adjusted numbers show that much of the improvement reflects the beginning of the spring-summer home buying season. It is much too early to tell if this is a turning point or simply due to some warmer weather."
Nineteen of the 20 cities in the index showed a year-over- year decline, led by an 11 percent drop in Minneapolis.
Washington showed the only increase, up 4 percent from April 2010.
Compared with the prior month, 13 of the 20 areas covered showed a increase on an unadjusted basis, led by Washington.
Reports earlier this month showed the housing market is yet to gain momentum. Sales of previously owned homes, which comprise about 94 percent of the housing market, were down 3.8 percent last month from April, the National Association of Realtors said.
Purchases of new houses dropped 2.1 percent in May, the first decline in three months, according to Commerce Department data. Competition from foreclosed homes is hurting demand for newly built dwellings.
The 1.8 million of inventory of distressed homes nationwide that may reach the market would take about three years to sell at the current pace, Daren Blomquist, communications manager at RealtyTrac Inc., said this month.
As house prices decline, owners feel less wealthy and home equity shrinks, making borrowing more difficult.
Builder Outlook
Some developers expect demand may stabilize following a poor selling season. Lennar Corp. (LEN), the third-largest U.S. homebuilder by revenue, last week said second-quarter sales fell from a year earlier and home orders were little changed, while the average price climbed. The 2010 orders were boosted by a federal tax credit for homebuyers that required contracts be signed by April 30.
"While it's now well-documented that the expected spring selling season of 2011 simply did not materialize, it is beginning to feel like the worst days of the housing market are getting behind us," Chief Executive Officer Stuart Miller said during a conference call with analysts on June 23.

Not now, at least.
Judd announced Wednesday that she would not run as a Democrat against incumbent Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, who Democrats believe is vulnerable. Today, the Washington Post published a story explaining why it felt Democrats should rejoice over Judd's decision.
The short version: Judd would have a virtually impossible time trying to dispel Republican attacks that portrayed the actress as too liberal for Kentucky, if not the nation.
Even if you could care less about Kentucky politics, the Post story is an interesting take on Hollywood types who dip their toe into the election process.

Saddledome is under water as Calgary battles floods
By Allan Muir
UPDATE: Calgary radio station X92.9 is reporting that the flooding from from the Bow and Elbow rivers has now reached the 14th row of the Saddledome with extensive damage to the building.
Meanwhile, Eric Francis, who covers the Flames for the Calgary Sun, confirms what that means:
Saddledome's private suites now in jeopardy of taking on water.—
Eric Francis (@EricFrancis) June 21, 2013
Francis also reports there are no images available of the damage yet as the area is inaccessible and only one employee is in the building at this time.
Deputy police chief Trevor Daroux has confirmed that the water reached the 10th row this morning. He said the Saddledome flooding "paints a very clear picture of what kinds of volumes of water that we're dealing with."
"This is not simply something we can pump out."
Contacted by the Calgary Herald, Libby Raines, the vice-president of building operations for the Saddledome, could not confirm the varying reports of damage to the arena. "I don't know if people are just estimating," she said. "We had someone in there [Friday] morning and we do have a significant amount of water, for sure, but I'm not going to speak to where or what row or whatever."
It's an absolutely staggering image.
With the city of Calgary besieged by water overflowing from the Bow and Elbow rivers, CBC Radio's Julie Van Rosendaal posted this photo capturing the impact of the flooding in the downtown area. It clearly shows the Saddledome, home of the Calgary Flames and the Western League's Calgary Hitmen, surrounded by the rising waters.
Eric Francis, tweeted this moments ago:
BREAKING: Water is up to row 10 at Saddledome. Dressing rooms completely submerged. Jumbotron rm & all equipment destroyed. #yycflood #NHL—
Eric Francis (@EricFrancis) June 21, 2013
Fortunately, Flames' employees were warned to stay at home this morning. The entire downtown core has been evacuated as heavy rain falls and water continues to pour in.
There were talks ongoing about a new arena for the Flames. This event seems likely to have an impact on the debate.
The neighbouring Calgary Stampede is also under water, seemingly putting the July 5 start of the legendary rodeo in jeopardy.
Hot Stove Lounge & Ed Whalen Media Lounge destroyed by the Dome flooding which certainly will mean cancellation of all Stampede concerts—
Eric Francis (@EricFrancis) June 21, 2013
The Flames have yet to issue a statement.
We'll update the situation when we know more.

- Increases orgasmic strength
- Achieves optimal sexual health and vitality
- Supports circulation and hormonal balance
- Price: $38.95
- Price: $77.90
- Save $38.95 (33%)
My husband has been very pleased since I started taking Thanda Passion Booster! He says it is like it was when we were first married. I think it is even better than that!- Caroline V., USA
What is Thanda Passion Booster?
Thanda - Xhosa (a language native to South Africa) word for 'love' - is a 100% safe, non-addictive, natural herbal remedy specifically formulated to naturally increase libido, sexual pleasure and orgasmic strength in women. Formulated by our team of experts in natural medicine, Thanda Passion Booster has been used for many years to safely maintain health and systemic balance in the female reproductive system.
A powerful tonic for female sexual health, Thanda contains a range of specially selected herbs from Africa and the Orient. These herbs are traditionally identified as having aphrodisiac properties. They are also known for their supportive function in maintaining healthy functioning of the female reproductive system by promoting a balanced flow of blood and routine sensitivity to the female genitals. Thanda can make all the difference without compromising health or risking serious side effects.
Using Thanda on a regular basis enhances healthy sexual desire, optimal orgasmic functioning and sexual health - allowing you to relax and enjoy sex, day or night!
Thanda Passion Booster is also a great complementary remedy to herbal PureCalm™, which quickly relieves feelings of anxiety and tension and creates a balanced, calm mood to promote relaxation for enhanced sexual pleasure. Taken together, these remedies can safely relieve the effects of everyday stresses that can often impact the female libido.
The formula remains true to the full spectrum method of herbal extraction, ensuring the bioavailability and balance of all the active ingredients contained in the remedy. This manufacturing method also significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects and ensures that all active ingredients are in perfect balance.
All Native Remedies products are manufactured in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities under the supervision of an expert team of herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths and responsible pharmacists.
Increasing your libido
The female sexual drive can naturally be different from a man's libido. Many women may feel embarrassed to admit that they are 'not in the mood' as much as their partners. Furthermore, for some women, an orgasm is a rare occurrence!
Sometimes, with age, it's normal for some women to require additional support to achieve optimal sexual arousal. A women's sexual desires and ability to get in the mood take second place to laundry, packing kids' lunches, or prepping for a board meeting. At the end of a long day, one may be too tired to awaken the sexual creature that lies within!
While every woman is unique, most women need to be in a relaxed state to facilitate arousal and sexual pleasure. There are many phases and prerequisites to the female sex drive. Many things can inhibit a woman's ability to become aroused, especially distractions.
The natural way
Naturopaths prefer to take a holistic look at the individual. They consider diet, lifestyle, personality type, surroundings, and emotional elements. Naturopaths do so to support the health of the individual as a whole instead of just treating problems in isolation.
There's a lot that can be done to help naturally awaken and encourage sexual desire. Keep in mind that there is a direct connection between nutrition and libido, as well as aging and sexual discomfort. Regular exercise and psychological issues are also important factors to consider.
Taking time out with your partner and yourself can often make a difference. Doing so can help women get back in touch with themselves, their partners, and their sexuality!
Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years as tonics for the female reproductive system, supporting healthy and efficient hormone production and providing a sound platform for sexual delight.
Practitioners of Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, African herbalists, and traditional healers from a wide range of cultures have many centuries of knowledge regarding the use of herbal medicines to support sexual health and desire and maintain sexual functioning. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom.
There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support female sexual health and arousal (Cohen AJ, Bartlik B. "Ginkgo biloba for antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction". J Sex Marital Ther. 1998;24:139–143).
What are the Ingredients?
Thanda Passion Booster is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: DMG, Muira puama, Eleuthero, Ginkgo biloba, Gentian root, Tribulus, Sarsaparilla, Saw palmetto, Ashwagandha.
- DMG (NN Diemethylglycine) is a nutritional supplement and vitamin B15 precursor with a range of supportive functions. DMG is a versatile health-promoting factor that can help to support a strong immune system. It is a natural amino acid found in the body. DMG supplies methyl groups for modification, building, and detoxifying many constituents in the body. DMG can support physical and mental energy levels and support healthy oxygen utilization in tissues. It acts as an antioxidant to support cellular health, and also supports circulation by maintaining healthy oxygen utilization.
- Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera) is also known as "Indian ginseng." A major traditional use of the herb is in "balancing life forces," which may be regarded as an adaptogenic or tonic effect. Ashwagandha is considered to be a "rasayana" that promotes rejuvenation according to traditional Ayurvedic practice. Over 35 active ingredients have been identified in the herb, including steroidallactones, alkaloids, saponins, and glycosides, making it a powerpack of natural health and a supporter of performance! (Bucci LR. "Selected herbals and human exercise performance." Am J Clin Nutr 2000;72(2 Suppl):624S-636S.)
- Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosis) contains ginsenosides, which support healthy blood flow to the brain, peripherals, and female sexual organs. Healthy blood flow to the sexual organs can increase female sexual pleasure. This herb can also help support healthy energy levels. In a recent study, Siberian ginseng was shown to support stamina and fitness. (Hartz AJ, Bentler S, Noyes R, et al. "Randomized controlled trial of Siberian ginseng for chronic fatigue". Psychol Med. 2004;34(1):51-61). In addition, animal studies lend growing support for the use of ginseng in maintaining sexual health. Studies also provide increasing evidence for the role of ginsenoside in healthy sexual functions. (Murphy LL, Lee TJ. "Ginseng, sex behavior, and nitric oxide". Department of Physiology, Southern Illinois University, School of Medicine, Carbondale, Illinois 62901, USA. 2002 May;962:372-7 PMID: 12076988).
- Maidenhair tree (Ginkgo biloba) is particularly renowned for its content: flavonoids, terpenoids, and organic acids. Researchers have studied its benefits in supporting all phases involved in sexual desire. An open study on 63 subjects found that the percentage of women responding to the benefits of Ginkgo biloba was higher than that of men, with relative success rates of 91%! Ginkgo biloba was reported to have a positive effect on all four phases of the sexual response cycle: desire, excitement (lubrication), orgasm, and resolution (afterglow). Theories for the results include the maintenance of circulation to the genitals and norepinephrine receptor-induced effects on the brain. (Cohen AJ, Bartlik B. "Ginkgo biloba for antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction". J Sex Marital Ther. 1998;24:139–143).
- Puncture vine (Tribulus terrestris) has a long history of traditional use in China, India, and Greece. In ancient times, it was recommended as a treatment to support female fertility and to maintain a healthy libido in both men and women. Recent studies performed in Bulgaria are the most current evidence regarding Tribulus. According to this research, Tribulus supports a healthy balance of hormones such as testosterone, DHEA, and estrogen. For this reason, Tribulus supports sexual function. (Adimoelja A. "Phytochemicals and the breakthrough of traditional herbs in the management of sexual dysfunctions" [abstract]. Int J Androl. 2000;23:82-84).
- Gentiana lutea grows wild or is cultivated in Europe, India, and North America. Gentiana lutea radix powder is a tonic herb traditionally used to support optimal functioning in all organs of the body. Gentiana has been used for centuries. It gets its name from Gentius, who was King of Illyria (a part of Greece) from 180-167 B.C. He is said to have discovered the medicinal value of this plant. The therapeutic properties of this herb are thought to be due to its rich glycoside content. (Aberham A, Schwaiger S, Stuppner H, Ganzera M. "Quantitative analysis of iridoids, secoiridoids, xanthones and xanthone glycosides in Gentiana lutea L. roots by RP-HPLC and LC-MS". J Pharm Biomed Anal. 2007 Nov 5;45(3):437-42. Epub 2007 Jul 10. PMID: 17697760)
- Muira puama is nicknamed "potency wood" by natives. Muira puama is derived from two species of small, shrubby trees in the olive family. Natives sometimes drink a beverage infused with this herb before sex to support healthy sexual desire. Studies have identified some of Muira puama's chemical compounds. Among the substances found in the herb are alkaloids, fatty acids, tannins, volatile oils, sterols, and resins. (Iwasa, J., and Y. Kimura, "Studies on the constituents of muira puama," Yakugaku Zasshi (1969), 89(8):1172-24). This herb has also been investigated specifically for its encouraging benefits for healthy female sexual desire. (Rowland DL, Tai W. "A review of plant-derived and herbal approaches to the treatment of sexual dysfunctions". J Sex Marital Ther. 2003 May-Jun;29(3):185-205. Review. PMID: 12851124). (Waynberg J, Brewer S. "Effects of Herbal vX (Muira Puama and Ginkgo biloba) on libido and sexual activity in premenopausal and postmenopausal women". Adv Ther. 2000 Sep-Oct;17(5):255-62. PMID: 11186145)
- Sarsaparilla (Smilax ornata) contains steroidal saparins that are thought to mimic the action of some human hormones. It is used as a supportive tonic for the female reproductive system. Sarsaparilla is also used as a tonic for sexual functions and as a rejuvenating tonic to support performance. (Bucci, L. R. "Selected herbals and human exercise performance." Am J Clin Nutr. 2000;72(2 Suppl):624S-636S).
- Saw palmetto (Sabal serrulata) has long been utilized by the Seminole Indians as a tonic to promote strength. The main constituents include glycerides, steroids, flavonoids, and volatile oil.

How Do I Use Thanda Passion Booster?
Swallow capsules whole with a small amount of water or juice.
Adults (Female): Take 1-2 capsules twice daily after meals.
Adults (Male): We recommend Ikawe for Men™ for male partners.
Special instructions: An additional dose is also recommended 15-30 minutes before sex.
Caution: Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not yet been established.
Note: It is recommended that Thanda Passion Booster be used concurrently with fast-acting PureCalm™ to relieve feelings of anxiety and stress that can often affect the female libido.
How long until I see results?
Results may vary, due to a number of influential factors. Some women experience almost immediate results, while others may take a few weeks to respond. Thanda Passion Booster may be used regularly as an herbal tonic to support general health and overall female sexual functioning.
Over time (usually 3-6 weeks), Thanda will act in a supportive capacity to a healthy reproductive system, with some women responding sooner than others. An additional dose 15-30 minutes before sex will increase desire and improve the intensity of orgasms.
Get optimum results with regular use
While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning instead of just suppressing symptoms.
People respond to natural medicine in different ways. Some of our satisfied customers experience immediate results. Many others have reported optimal benefits taking effect within 3-6 weeks. To ensure that you receive optimum results, it's important to take natural remedies as directed and remain consistent. You may also find that a smaller maintenance dose is beneficial for ongoing support. Many customers report taking a regular maintenance dose as part of a preventative program for continued health and well-being.
How long will a bottle last?
One bottle of Thanda Passion Booster contains 60 capsules and will last 15-30 days based on usage (1 or 2 capsules twice daily).
How has Thanda Passion Booster helped others?
Thanda Passion Booster has been used to increase libido and sexual desire in women. Here is what some of them have to say:
"I have always thought I wasn't normal and had some kind of hormone imbalance. The doctors always said there was nothing wrong. With Thanda Passion Booster, sex maybe 3 times a year has turned into 2 to 3 times a week and has saved my relationship. Thanks."
-Maria, CO, USA
"I tried Thanda Passion Booster and my boyfriend took Ikawe for Men because we wanted to see whether it was true that it could increase your sex drive. Since then we can't keep our hands off each other!! Sex was good before, but now it is ten times better!! I think I will still be taking these products for many years. We definitely are two very satisfied customers! "
-Zita, USA
"I took Accutane for my acne and only midway through did I find out it had been shown to decrease your libido. My boyfriend and I had previously had a very active sex life, and it became less and less frequent. I just didn't have a drive anymore. I tried another product, Hot Plants, which worked initially but eventually stopped working. I happened upon this website, saw the guarantee, and thought, what the heck, I'll try it. Boy am I happy I did! We now have sex at least 4-5 times a week! I feel the same way I used to. Thank you Thanda!"
-Courtney, CA, USA
"My husband and I have been married for 6 years. After my second child I just went right off sex. Most of the time I was just too tired, but it also seemed as though that part of me was gone forever. I can tell you that my husband was starting to get fed up with all the excuses! He bought me these Thanda Passion Booster capsules and I took them. To be honest, I was just taking them to make him feel happy but I did not think that they could make a difference. Was I wrong! Now my husband jokes and says that it is his turn to be tired! "
-Sarah, USA
"I thought that I was just one of those women who could not have an orgasm. Sex was OK at first, but most of the time I would rather curl up with a good book! Do you know that I used to fake orgasms just so that my fiancee could feel good? I know it was wrong, but I felt like I was not good enough. My friend told me about your Thanda Passion Booster libido capsules and I decided to give them a try. Sex is getting better and better all the time. I have been taking the capsules for three weeks and there is a definite difference. No more faking for me! "
-Sylvie, USA
"My husband has been very pleased since I started taking Thanda! He says it is like it was when we were first married. I think it is even better than that!!!"
-Caroline V., USA
"I just wanted to say thank you I have only been taking Thanda for 2 days and things are much better already. Since the birth of my second son I was just not interested I couldn't feel anything. Now it is like before we had kids again. This really has helped our relationship."
-Michelle, CT, USA
"My wife loved me but didn't feel like showing it in an intimate way. I spent years frustrated and sometimes angry. We found your web site and our lives have changed forever. The sex is like we never could have imagined but better the tender love and affection has increased exponentially. Thanda Passion Booster may have saved our marriage."
-Joe, UT, USA
"Yes, Thanda Passion Booster works!!! I'm at work and sometimes I need to go home to my husband on break throughout the week. No side effects and I'm pregnant!!! Thank you Native remedies for giving me my groove back!!!"
-Momma D., WA, USA
"Thanda Passion Booster capsules have lived up to their promise and I am enjoying myself again. I am going out of my way to make 'us' time alone with my husband… instead of avoiding him with excuses as I used to. This is everything that I expected … just like everything is working again!"
-Gail B.
"Thanda Passion Booster really works and works quickly - within 20 minutes. You can be far from being in the "mood" and within minutes a switch is flipped and you are mentally and physically ready to go! A big help for marriage after children!"
-Kate, NJ, USA

He knew he was in trouble.
Then a special agent for the U.S. Navy's major law enforcement agency—known today as the Naval Criminal Investigative Service—Tom Betro '81 was sitting in a car in a deserted gas station in Norfolk, Virginia. He was supposed to make a drug buy—two bales of marijuana for $2,000—but was met by four guys armed with knives taped to ax handles.
He knew there were a dozen cops waiting in the darkness. To summon them, all Betro had to do was utter "rip-off" into the hidden microphone taped to his chest.
"Rip-off!" he said, as the four guys drew closer.
Nothing happened.
"Rip-off!" he barked again. And again.
"The stupid thing didn't work," Betro recalled, sitting in his flag-draped office at the Washington Navy Yard recently. "I'm yelling 'Rip-off! Rip-off!' and no one's coming."
The first ax handle broke the van window.
"It's not transmitting, it's dead, and now they're reaching for the door, and I'm trying to lock it ... but I'm too late, and the first guy pulls it open.
"So I just jammed the gas. The tires are screaming, ... and the guy with the ax handle is hanging on the door. And I'm ripping out of the parking lot, ... I'm going over the curb, ... and they're all running after me, and it's just chaos in the streets."
Betro lived to fight crime another day—and eventually to head the $500-million-a-year naval law enforcement agency now familiar to millions of viewers of the popular television crime drama, NCIS.

New Delhi, Jan 8 (IANS) England off-spinner James Tredwell Tuesday said two successive defeats in the warm-up matches for the ODI series against India were not an ideal start to their tour.
England, who returned home after winning the Test series, lost to Delhi by five wickets at the Ferozeshah Kotla here Tuesday. Their first loss came against India A Sunday.
"It is certainly not an ideal start. We have not been able to execute our plans. The result in the practice matches is irrelevant but we would have definitely wanted to start off on a positive note," Tredwell told reporters after the five wicket loss to Delhi.
Talking more about the performance in the two games, he said: "We have not been able to find the right lengths. Batting wise, we did well today. The batsmen spent time in the middle so that is a good thing."
Ian Bell (108) scored a hundred while Alastair Cook, Eoin Morgan and Craig Kieswetter too showed good form with the bat as England made 294 for five.
The ODI series starts in Rajkot Friday and Tredwell said the team was looking forward to playing in warmer conditions.
"It has been pretty chilly here. So it would be nice to play in a warmer place. But at the end of the day, we need to execute our plans on the field," said Tredwell, who took two wickets in the game.

Cosmo has been covering the dangers of tanning beds as part of our ongoing Practice Safe Sun campaign. Now new research backs us up: An August 2009 report from the International Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified tanning devices as a definite carcinogen. And, the report said, if you tan indoors before age 30, your skin-cancer risk rises by 75 percent.
But you likely wont hear this from your local salon. Thats because the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA), a group of salon owners and tanning-bed manufacturers and distributors, doesnt seem to want you to know the truth. How else to explain why its Website contains myths about the harm indoor tanning can cause?
Those myths are the reason Cosmo teamed up with ABC News 20/20. Our objective: to conduct an investigation to find out what tanning-salon operators are telling their customers.
We visited dozens of salons posing as potential tanners, asking questions about how healthy fake baking is. You wont believe the misleading statements we caught on hidden camera. Here are some of the highlights.
COSMO: Does indoor tanning cause cancer?
TRUTH: Yes. But They Said:
Any of the studies that find any significant link at all are with people of a skin type who should not be in the sun at allliving far north and not getting much sunlight. Thats not any of us.
The dermatology association is in bed with big companies to promote their product: sunscreen. You really dont have anything to worry about.
COSMO: Can I get a safe tan inside a tanning bed?
TRUTH: No. But They Said:
I recommend this lotion if youre afraid youll burn. Its thick, and itll protect you from burning.
This [lotion] will help you tan better, and it has moisturizer so you wont burn. This has very little SPF because the bed itself has SPF already. You dont need to worry.
We also called some of the top dermatologists in the country to get their take. Theres no longer any debate about UV radiation causing cancer, explains David J. Leffell, MD, professor of dermatology and surgery at the Yale School of Medicine. Any attempt to obscure this is dishonest, ignorant, or both. The indoor-tanning industry is misstating the facts for its own gain.
NEED TO KNOW: The Tanning-Bed-Cancer Control Act
This bill, to be introduced into Congress in early 2010 by Representative Carolyn Maloney (D- N.Y.), would expand the FDAs regulation of tanning beds by limiting the strength of the UV rays emitted by sunlamps and reducing the amount of time an indoor tanner can be exposed.
We want to hear from you.
Have you ever had a skin-cancer scare, or do you have a friend or family member who has?
Have you ever been concerned about the risks?
Have you ever asked about safety at a salon and been reassured that its ok?
Does this story (and TV segment) change the way you think about going to tanning salons?

Verizon yukiness continues…
Seems ringtone behavior has changed on a lot of the Verizon phones. We are getting more and more recent feedback about lots of Verizon phones being affected. We've heard feedback about ringtones no longer sounding as good as they used to, getting error messages when trying to download ringtones, no ringtone attachment with the ringtone message and ringtones can only be saved as a sound. We're still trying to figure out exactly which phones have been affected and what, if any, workarounds are available.
We've got ringtones working (and sounding good) on more phones with the latest updates we've just made to the site. Be sure you've set your phone details correctly and don't have any ringtone overrides set if your phone is listed as working below. Here is what we're currently seeing:
Audiovox CDM-8940 works
LG – seems like most are working again but we've specifically tested the following:
VX9900 (enV)
VX8500 (Chocolate)
Motorola – mixed results
working – Razr (V3), E815, V710, Krzr (K1M), L7C
sort of working – V325 (doesn't sound very good, but you can set it as a ringtone)
We just tried the Razr again and the ringtone is saved as a sound but you can still set it as a ringtone from 'Get It Now'.
Nokia 6315I works
Samsung – mixed results
working – SCH-U series (SCH-U740, SCH-U620)
not working – SCH-A series (SCH-A870, SCH-A930)
SCH-A950 seems to work with AWB or MP3 format sometimes
We have received feedback that AMR or WAV works on the SCH-A series so you could try those formats. However, WAV files are very large which cause the ringtones to be fairly short (6 to 10 seconds).
We are seeing new developments every day so stay tuned, we'll keep the blog updated.

This exhibition presents the first career survey of drawings by Atlanta-based artist Susan Cofer. For more than three decades, Cofer has been recognized in the Southeast for her painstakingly delicate, abstract drawings.
The High Museum of Art is proud to present the first career survey of drawings by Atlanta-based artist Susan Cofer. For more than three decades, Cofer has been recognized in the Southeast for her painstakingly delicate, abstract drawings. Susan Cofer: Draw Near features nearly one hundred drawings dating from 1975 to the present day.
Susan Cofer works with colored pencils in a labor-intensive process, slowly "carving" away the white surface of a sheet of paper with short, vertical strokes. Images inspired by nature often emerge from the resulting network of pencil lines, evoking organisms in embryonic stages of development that themselves suggest self-contained microcosms. More recently, Cofer's work is based upon wide-open panoramic landscapes and topographies, representing an exploration of the macrocosmic and suggesting the mapping of places and terrain.
The exhibition also includes a selection of sketchbooks from Cofer's travels in the Middle East, sculptural objects, and drawing tables adorned with relief carvings that are based on the natural forms in her drawings. Cofer designed the tables to offer a more intimate experience of her work, amplifying the effect of the drawings, whose delicate and highly detailed surfaces beg for close scrutiny, inviting the viewer to literally "draw near."
Location: Lower Level Wieland
Organization & Support
This exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art.
Susan Cofer received her bachelor's degree in Art History at Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia in 1964 and went on to do postgraduate work in studio art at Georgia State University in 1970.
Prior to Draw Near, Cofer's solo exhibitions have included:

Neighborhoods: Northwest
Perfection – A steak this good from a chain? Crazy. I've been to this place once, so I'm not a regular -- though I would be if I could afford it. Yes it's expensive but worth every penny.
Best in Tampa – I've dined in almost all of Tampas steakhouse's and Ruth's Chris is the best. The service is impeccable, down to the cloth napkin that is given to coincidw with the color of your pants/dress. Quality of steak is unmatched. Go with a Ny Strip Pittsburgh style and you will leave happy. Best place in town to celebrate an occasion or conduct business
Sophisticated American chain serves up corn-fed USDA prime cuts and New Orleans-style appetizers and sides. – In Short
This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.
Nice place great service good food.. – This was my first time at Ruth Chris, I will come back for sure. The steak was very good. I ordered mine med well it came out med, but the quality of the meat made up for it not being exactley wright.. Robert was our waiter and he did a top notch job always on time, and always keeping our drinks full.. The host greated us and we were off to our table very promt in getting us to our table.. I have ate at many resturants in Tampa and I think Burns is the best over all, But Ruths is a very close second.. I will definetly recommend..
LOVED IT!!! – My friend and I went to Ruth's Chris in March and this was the first fancy steakhouse that I had ever been to. It was such an amazing experience. The service was great, the food was great and so was the atmosphere. It was expensive but well worth saving up to go to treat yourself! We got the porterhouse for 2 and it was hands down the best steak that I have EVER had (sorry DAD!) I would love to go again so I guess its back to saving!!!
Decent Steak, Nice place overall – There are so many steak restaurants in Tampa I would recommend over Ruth's Chris....but Ruth's Chris is well known in the US and I think that is where most of the hype comes from. Interesting story behind the place itself, but other than that I would say the food is just "good." (I am from Kansas City afterall, I know a great steak when I taste one, and this is not "great") I have a problem with the 500 degree sizzling plates because they do continue to "cook" the steak on it's way from the kitchen...so a medium-rare steak becomes closer to medium, a big no-no in my book. The atmosphere is very nice and the service is great, however. If you go to eat there, plan on spending quite a bit on the ala carte menu.
Great Steak! – Ruths Chris has a formal atmosphere, very friendly employees, and excellent food. It is a wonderful place for a romantic dinner or a business meeting. A word of warning- as good as the food is it is over priced, so be prepared to spend if you go here.
Over Rated – We have been several times and found Ruth's too loud. Very hard to enjoy a meal with others. As for the food, not that great for the money. The steak is over rated for the price. Had no flavor for whats should be a great steak. The service is not great. We just came back from San Francisco and could not believe the difference in service out there to the service in Tampa bay area. We have had excellent service other places and expected the same at Ruth's. May consider going back if they change.
Melt In Your Mouth Goodnessssssssss – Read the review from the birthday girl and all I can say is, Hun next time you and your boyfriend should go back to Denny's where you are used to. This is the finest Steak House in Florida, bar none. Maybe there is ever flowing Southern Comfort in Dade City, but even the best run out of things, oh except maybe ABC, seem to know a lot about that. Maybe they disappointed you when the wine came & you couldn't screw off the top! Look you stay at the Flying J and let true beef lovers have your share. Keep up the great work. I only have two steak houses Ruth Chris & Bern's no others even come close. 5 stars
Not at all as expected – I heard some good things about Ruth Chris and yesterday was my birthday so I went with my boyfriend and we were both expecting great things. We were both sorely disappointed.
The steak is so not worth the money, perhaps these folks who rant about the steak here, never really had a good cut of meat. The au gratin potatoes were bland and the potatoes themselves tasted "old".
The server was snooty, but it IS a snooty restaurant. His mixed drink wasn't THAT great and bar had somehow run out of Southern Comfort so something was substituted. Please tell me how does a bar that boast itself on being some grand thing run out of Southern Comfort... Is there an ABC nearby, run over and get a bottle!
As an insulin dependent diabetic, this place is SO NOT WORTH the calories!!!!! I have not been this disappointed in a meal in a very long time.
